MFG Codes are a powerful tool in e-manage|ONE that can streamline the process of importing parts from external source files. By pre-programming essential information such as Vendor, MFG Discount, Product Type, Parts Category, Unit of Measure, Manufacturer, and Product Line, you can save time and ensure accurate data entry. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to configure and utilize MFG Codes for a smoother import process.
Accessing the Configure MFG Codes Window:
Before you can start using MFG Codes, make sure you have the necessary application rights. If you're unsure about your permissions, contact your administrator for assistance. To access the Configure MFG Codes window:
Click on the "Tools" menu located at the top of the e-manage|ONE main window.

Configuring a New MFG Code:
If you are working with Haworth, note that MFG Codes will typically follow the pattern MC= + CG= (or EG=, depending on your software generation). The CG represents the Haworth SuperClass Code. To create a new MFG Code, follow these steps:
Click the "New" button on the right side of the MFG Codes window.
Enter your MFG Code (for .sif files, this should be a 3-letter code).
Select the default Unit of Measure (UOM) for this MFG Code.
Choose the Product Type from the dropdown list.
Select the Category from the dropdown list.
Choose the Vendor from the dropdown list (you can search by part of the vendor name).
If applicable, select the Manufacturer (or enter a new one).
If applicable, select the Product Line (or enter a new one).
Enter the worst-case scenario MFG Discount you receive from this vendor for this product type (you can leave it as zero if importing .sif or Spacesaver Configura (xml)).
Optionally, set default customer discount, margin, or markup values (be sure to check the box next to each value to apply them as default).
Click the "Save" button to save your settings.
Editing an Existing MFG Code:
To modify an existing MFG Code, locate it in the grid on the left side of the window and click on it. The right side of the window will display the current values. Make the desired changes and click the "Save" button. To delete an existing MFG Code, select it in the grid and click the "Delete" button.
Consult Your Administrator:
It's essential to work closely with your administrator to ensure that MFG Codes and Vendor Ref Codes are fully set up and aligned with your organization's needs.
